Beautiful Vintage(?) Poster

Update:

Thanks to Miguel and a few commenters on facebook for tracking down the artist. Timba Smits illustrated this piece for Dunlop commemorating 100 years of the 24 Hours. Unfortunately I don’t see a print on his site, but you should absolutely head over there to see more of their beautiful work. Gorgeous.

I’ve seen a number of Pinterest members and eBay sellers calling this a 1950 LeMans poster. The Jag and Ferrari pictured here make that impossible.. But I can’t seem to find anything more about it.

It looks to me like a contemporary illustration meant to evoke the 50s. I’d love to credit the artist here and maybe get a print. Anyone know anything about it?

An Outlaw Aurelia

I was all set to make fun of this thing when I saw a link to it, but this outlaw-style modified Lancia Aurelia B20GT looks mighty badass. The stripped chrome makes it look more modern—almost to the point that you could squint your eyes and convince yourself that the Bentley Boys are headed back to LeMans in a stripped contemporary Continental GT. Almost.
